Thomas Price is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at North Carolina State University. His primary research goal is to develop learning environments that automatically support students through AI and data-driven help features. His work has focused on the domain of computing education, where he has developed novel approaches for generating hints and feedback, modeling student learning, and supporting student learning on open-ended programming projects.

Dr. Price completed his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at NCSU in 2015 and 2018, respectively, where he was recognized as the College of Engineering Doctoral Scholar of the Year (2018). His research has earned Exemplary Paper Awards at the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (2016) and the ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education (2017). Dr. Price’s research and teaching are driven by a desire to make computing education available to a larger and more diverse population learners, and Dr. Price has been recognized by the STARS Computing Corps for his leadership in computing outreach. His current research projects include exploring new, data-driven methods for supporting students, evaluating these systems in classroom and online learning settings, and investigating how students seek and use help when learning.
